hey guys...thought i might just have a bit of a rant since:
a) i'm bored
b) i'm so tired and delirious, i feel like i've just woken up from anaesthesia
c) i'm procrastinating
d) i haven't posted a decent post in yonks
(that wasn't a multiple choice question btw)

how are you?
good
you?
i'm doing ok i guess...
just ok?
whats wrong?

mmm. this week hasn't been all good. sure, i managed to do a lot of work, but i've also managed to get myself into a lot of trouble...and of course, being me, this just has to source from girls. i'm seriously beginning to miss the days when we were still petrified of cooties (but still, ironically, played kiss tiggy). god we were flirty back in those days.
numero uno - this has sort of stagnated, but it certainly isn't at the back of my mind just yet. mmm.i still get those rushes. and those moments where i feel like dumping my head into a pillow and screaming "gahd" to myself. shes very much the internet type girl. and i'm becoming more like a screen saver =P
numero due - basically vanished. which is good in a way, because it was totally futile =P maybe i might just wait til i head over to hk...maybe a quick stopover...
numero tres - i never saw it coming. well, i did in a small way. those four days. mmm. i think im going to talk. avoid the brainwashing. i'm having those parallels to alex again.

PS: space dementia - muse ---> great song for those moments when you just feel like letting steam.

don't loose your phone again dumbass!

hahahah!!! funniest moment of the week!

two friends of mine, for you who dont know, adam and brendan, and i, were on a train heading off home. so we found a mobile phone on the seat next to us. we decided to hold onto it until we got to bentleigh so we could hand it in. but we decided to leave a little memento for the owner of the phone...so i got out a piece of paper, and we intended to write down "don't lose your phone again"...however, adam just had to screw it up. he wrote: "don't loose..." lol. then we decided to just have a bit of fun, and added "your trousers and..." then, he wrote "or loose..." lol. two mistakes. so we got another piece of paper out, and this time, we wrote "don't lose your phone again dumbass". we took a photo of it on the phone and saved it as the background. then. then. THEN! the guy comes and goes "did i leave my phone here?" and brendan proceeded to hand the phone to him. he stared at the front of the phone (it was a clamshell), but didnt open it...phew. then, he's turned around, and opened it. adam and i almost cracked up laughing. he's turned to us, and you could see that he had a grin on his face, which was at this time, totally red. when he alighted at the next station, we totally cracked up. i think the guys sitting opposite us in the next booth of seats we're scared...lol.

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

You tend to take more than give in relationships.

You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.

You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.


that explains A LOT :P
You're a Romantic Kisser

For you, kissing is all about feeling the romance
You love to kiss under the stars or by the sea
The perfect kiss involves the perfect mood
It's pretty common for kisses to sweep you off your feet


hahah....im in a lovey dovey mood tonight...

Your Seduction Style: Sweet Talker

Your seduction technique can be summed up with "charm"
You know that if you have the chance to talk to someone...
Well, you won't be talking for long! ;-)

You're great at telling potential lovers what they want to hear.
Partially, because you're a great reflective listener and good at complementing.
The other part of your formula? Focusing your conversation completely on the other person.

Your "sweet talking" ways have taken you far in romance - and in life.
You can finess your way through any difficult situation, with a smile on your face.
Speeding tickets, job interviews... bring it on! You truly live a *charmed life*
Your Kissing Purity Score: 60% Pure

For you, kissing isn't a casual thing

Lip to lip action makes your heart sing


haha...*blushes*

vince is dead.

yes he is. or at least will be.

Your Birthdate: August 13

Being born on the 13th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer, but it may also give you a tendency to dominate people a bit.
You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.
Sincere and honest, you are a serious, hard working individual.

Your feeling are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.
You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.
Your intolerance and insistence on complete accuracy can be irritating to some.

"i say we concentrate on work. that's how i always got through it whenever my life turned to dogshit."
i feel so dead this morning. i got four hours of sleep, because i had a tummyache at around 5 o clock. then, i had to do an hour's of full-on english language analysis and point-of-view writing, which i managed to compact down to 58mins. now, im trying to cram in a blog post in four mins before my tutor arrives.












i need sleep.

Wednesday, September 21, 2005

lol...my sister is just as weird as me. she's trying to do that hand gesture that gay guys do. you know, sorta like blushing, but my moving the hand. you know. where you move your hand from a position parallel to your arm, and then downwards...in a gay like fashion. well, shes trying to do that...with her foot.

LOLOLOLOL! i just tried it, and the room was silent, and all you could hear was the loud crack of my ankle bone.lol.
lol...me and my sister are having rather blog-worthy moments right now.

1. she called michael buble "michael bluebay"

2. she told me that price attack is having a sale on TIGI AND AMERICAN CREW PRODUCTS!!! OH MY GOD!!!! (no wait...its more than an oh my god....its....) OH EM GEE!!!! MY TWO FAVOURITE HAIR PRODUCT...BRANDS! AND THERE'S A STORE IN BOURKE STREET MALL! oh im so badly going to stock up....control hairspray and minty clay...and FIBER!

3. THERES A "THE SKETCH SHOW" DVD!!! god that was a show...i there were some great skits on that...

a) there's a guy who is play table tennis, but with himself. he's set the table up so that one side is lifted up against a wall...so then, one guy looks at the guy playing table tennis against the wall and goes:

SPECTATING GUY: what are you doing?
GUY PLAYING: i'm playing ping

hahahahaha!!! ping! get it? since there's no pong?


b) oh this is a classic. its like an alcoholics anonymous class, but for people with phobias. ok, i dont remember all of it, but i remember up until they go through three people's phobias. ive forgotten there names, so ill just call them john, tom, and sally. john is the leader of the group.
J: hello, my name is john, and i'm glad to see that you guys have joined this class. well, to start things off, ill talk about myself. i have a phobia for the word A-R-G-H.
T: you mean argh?
J:ARGH! (pause) so what about you Tom?
T: well, i have a phobia for apologies.
J:im sorry about that.
T:ARGH!
J:ARGH!
J:ok. how about you sally?
S: I have a phobia for awkward silences.
(awkward silence)
S: ARGH!
J:ARGH!
S:sorry.
T:ARGH!
J:ARGH!

LOLOLOOOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! that was the best one...memorable at least.
wow...this is too cool

TB ALERT! TB ALERT!

oh my god...my sister just came home....with a pair of red and white (yes, i know, but if i write in white you wont be able to see it) toe socks....major tb factor written all over them. i need to move out. i'm not living at home with a tb running rampant and whining like a tb would.
ahhh.....finally. i can post again.









blogging is hard.

blog design: finished

woohoo! finally! blog design done! albeit in a half-assed manner. yes, this looks nothing like the plans, but thats because i ran out of time and couldnt be bothered redoing all the css and html. so yes. here it is. im happy with it to an extent. at least i can stare at it for more than two minutes now.lol.oh, one thing, i urge you all to get firefox instead of that crappy internet explorer. then, and only then, will you be able to feast upon the glories of the site. or at least a less dodgy typograph.

Saturday, September 10, 2005

sorry, havent been posting for a while, due to all the sacs that have been going on, and wont be for another week, while im finishing off the blog design, and getting it over and done with before exam time.

i'm still majorly pissed off at the guy who tried to steal my b&o headphones.

for those of you who don't know, i was at melbourne uni yesterday, and i was phoned by b&o that my headphones had come in. they then proceeded to tell me that they couldn't get through to my phone on saturday, and that they phoned my old phone number.
so the guy who has my old phone number told the service assistant that he was going to pick it up, but then made the mistake of asking where the store was. doofus! if you know where to take the headphones for service, you should know where to pick them up from!

so yeah. i told the service assistant to do an id, phone number and bill check for the guy who would pick it up. haha...i hope he gets nabbed by the security guard.

currently, i'm at home, sick with a tummy-bug (probably from those dodgy sausages at open day) and high on the fumes of "po sum on" (pour some on!) medicinal oil. i probably wouldn't have wanted to go to school either way today, sick or not sick. well, at least i can do some chem and spesh work while i'm lying in bed, in the 5 minutes between contractions haha...it sure seems as painful as it looks on tv.

but right now, im in my lunch break. i wonder. you know at the theatres, or at the rivoli cinemas, there's those lines of flashing lights under the verandah...do you see them as flashing in the direction of left or right, when you first look at them? i asked some people last night, and most seem to see it going right. but i see it going left. i mean, i can very quickly attune my eye to see it going right, but yes. just another one of those things i can add to my list of 'weird things i can do'.

i'm not very good at endings to posts, so i shant bother with one.

another one of those moments, alike to the incident where my parents thought i was going out with an exchange student...

so about 5 minutes ago, i was in the bathroom. the door to my room was wide open, so my mother walked straight in to wish me good night. so she did, and on walking out she must have picked up this t-shirt of mine that was sitting on my bed. it's the yellow stussy one. anyways, so im in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, and my mother says to me:
"is this a new t-shirt?"
"nah, i got it start of this year."
"is this a girl or a boy's t-shirt? it has all these floral emblems on it...plus the sleeve is cut pretty high...especially for a medium!"
"i'm sure its a boy's t-shirt mum. i got it from the male side of the store."
(pause, for about 5 seconds)
"so what's the name of the girlfriend who you stole this t-shirt off?"

i spit toothpaste foam all over the bathroom mirror.
did anybody else notice the unusually large gathering around the immunology booth at melbourne uni?

i wonder what could have caused that....

I'M A MANNEQUIN!

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

hello to all!

well i'm getting peeved off. no not by anybody in general, but by the people who produced the website backbone of xangas. the whole props system has fallen to bits. i havent seen a post with an odd number of eprops in quite a while....probably two months. i mean, they set the default props to 2. 2!!! i mean, that just ruins the whole idea of props. you are meant to EARN props. not get them deducted!!! the whole system needs a major reform i say.

anyways, i better get back to work...i'm currently reading dermatological reports and journals off the net....woohooo....they are crazy as hell!!!!

"desquamation of epitheleal lining"
"post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation"
"medial cystic necrosis"
"toxic epidermal necrolysis"

ergh....i'm not feeling too well this morning, but that was a great birthday guys,thanks.

i can't really be bothered blogging what happened last night, since i'm probably going to talk about it with you guys on msn anyways...

gotta go now, i need to sleep a bit!

nike a-league football ad
w00t!!! i'm 18 today!

so my birthday, although technically being in about 4.5 hours time, actually begun last night at around midnight, when people started wishing me a happy birthday on msn, and flooding my fone to the point where it was almost spam of happy bday msgs (nice one alex, now i have like four msgs worth of memory left). then i had to sign off msn at around 12:30, when my mum realised i was awake, by the annoying adium(mac derivative of msn) sounds. so she, and my dad, and my sister, who woke up a little later, wished me a happy birthday at 1 in the morning.lol.classic. so i got a new wacom tablet (UBER-PERFECT!!!!!!) from my mum, a new desk from my dad, and a t-shirt with my sister and i on it painted by my sister, which actually looks really good.
so then we had a really scrumptuous chocolate mud cake, which although was divine when i ate it, didn't feel too good this morning with matt alex violet woke me up. they came to wish me a happy birthday and give me....not sure what you would call them...they would sorta be classed in the same area as kris kringle presents, but not mean....just small presents i guess...so yes. presents. matt got me the craziest present. #34 of the matchbox old 1998-2000(as in, what was sold back then) toy car collection. the only one i didnt have! then i had to wait a while before sam and jack came along, where they all then collabratively gave me a whole roll of that baby blue and gold fleur-de-lis-esque wallpaper(yes, the alannah hill coloured one, sally), and...guess what. subscriptions to the us, uk, aus, and taiwan gq magazines. and, of course, my response was "OH MY GOD!!!AWESOME!"
so they have now gone, and im getting ready to go back out and meet up with them again later for lunch. i wonder what they have in store for me next...maybe they are going to make me buy porn, just for the fun of it...haha. but nah...i have to do that with kim one day!

PS: i've just realised that theres enough wallpaper in the roll to paper my entire room with it!! and still make envelopes!!!

hey everybody, sorry i havent been posting very much (understatement of the day), but i've been really busy with homework, rest, and worrying about you know what. i'm probably not going to for another week or so, since i have homework and more thinking to do.

Monday, August 8, 2005

WOAH!!!!! how awesome does the Nike (i think it's nike) A-League soccer advertisement look!!!!

Saturday, August 6, 2005

as if all your guys aren't going to the open day for monash...dodgy lazy bums...you guys didn't even have a formal to go to!

anyways, so i came back from watching carmen at her majesty's theatre with a friend. it was pretty good, apart from micaela, who was acted rather sub-standardly. however, that might have been the director's fault. ill talk about it tomorrow, right now, i need some sleep! good night peoples!
wow...formal night was way cool...i'm not going to get into great detail until i've written it all down in my journal, but basically...

after school, rehearsed our act for about an hour, which ended with us being caught out by year 9s peering through the windows to either side of the classroom door, waiting to get into form assembly, which we conveniently forgot still occurred even though we had double free. after, we made the mad rush down to the city, where i pick up the buttonhole and corsage, my camera, and an extra black tie. a friend intercepted me with my suit, which he had gone to get from the store while i was rehearsing.
i then made pissbolted to mc station, and travelled by train to camberwell, on the classic 5-station express train. i got to rachel's house about half an hour late, and conveniently called her as she was doing her nails.
i got ready in about...an hour or so? after doing a mix and match of three shirts and two ties, and we left at 5:30 off to my friend's (cecil's) place. she looked rather dashing.
on arrival at cecil's house, he opened the door. in a fluoro orange suit. surprisingly enough, he did not look like a jaffa, but actually looked pretty cool. i finished doing my hair at his place, with the help of rachel, and she redid my tie...i'm wondering whether she is more pedantic about ties and canyons than i am...!!!
so we made our way by limo to the ngv intl, where we arrived at just the right time to get a space against the pavement. no double parking for us. our arrival also coincided with the arrival of other friends, where we all gathered together to take fotos, and hug and pat guys on the backs, etc.
rachel and i decided to make our way in, where we did the meet and greet. however, she did that, not me...lol. some of her friends came, so yes. she introduced them to me...
about 15 minutes later (ed: finally...) we all made our way in, and i introduced her to the so-called "group". she left shortly after to go to the loo, where i was then told that my friend (wang) was totally eyeing her off. ooo..i so wanted to take a strike at him at that moment. but i didn't. after she came out, i took her around, to meet friends at the school which used to be at camberwell high as well.
---//---
i would like to continue with this story, but its getting long-winded and i'm pressed for time. but i got a new camera to replace my old cybershot! with this new novelty, the blog is probably going to turn into one of the foto/text - fusion kind, so watch out 56k-ers...but i will try and make the pics small (byte-wise).

PS: hail non-posed people photographs!

thats going to be hard...i'm going to be walked like a guy racked
with a drunken stupor. i hope this headache doesn't get worse during
the sac, cause right now, i can't even concentrate on what im typing
about at all...

have you ever realised that dr. house and seth cohen are alike? and they are both cool people (seth is still cool, even though i despise his mimicry of my dress...)...i mean, seth cohen does that caption/sidenote thing, where he talks about something, then goes off on a slight tangent, in a lower voice...and dr. house, he just has those moments of sarcastic remarking, like this:

Bill: His name's Joey. He's my only brother.
Dr. House: He's important to you. Got it. NO placebos for him. We'll use the real medicine.

but dr. house is way cooler. that limp, that voice, the dialogue, his eccentricities (playing ds, listening to his ipod), his way too cool board diagrams, and his funny-as-hell encounters with patients just coming in for checkups. i love that one with the man, where he said his wife was having an affair...or that episode where he just asks the guy for no reason at all if his penis is sore...haha...classic...

nouvelle musique de la semaine

john mayer -EVERYTHING (meaning, all of his stuff)
m.20- more than you think you are
massive attack - teardrop
rogue traders - voodoo child
melanie c- i turn to you (i've been bopping to it ever since "bend it like beckham" was on tv.)
MOONLIGHT SHADOW!!!
john mayer - neon ( i heart this song)
well, my "sinusoidal wave with period of two weeks" theory has been disproved. my low has come a bit earlier than predicted. and guys, don't try matchmaking me anymore. i'm so sick of it right now.

i despise people who try and brainwash you into liking people...they all seem to have that idiosyncratic purpose: to get you to like them. and they all have the classic phrases:
"do you like her?"
"are you sure?"
"really?"
and you end up saying "99% sure..." and you just think to yourself, "crap. i do like her."

PS: no i don't "like" her.

after playing around with my hair, i found out an amazing thing. i have about 20 or so strands of hair, which run from my fringe line all the way down to the top of the bridge of my nose. great job cutting my hair, hairdresser. great job.

worse, my dad is singing to the overture from carmen. gah...i'm not going to be able to sleep for a while, with that racket going on.

my room is clean. ARGH!

...i'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head

i feel so languid right now...all i'm doing is picking off the wax caked in my eyelashes, and picking the dirt out of my nails with a thumbtack.

somewhere in between my falling asleep and me waking up, my mum cleaned my room. no, it's not all spick and span, just clean. and "organised". merci beaucoup.so now i can't find my umat resources and past tests, because they are shuffled in between other papers, that accumulate to a 15cm high deck (however, i marvel at my mother's ability to go through that much paper, and still categorise it perfectly by the Pantone colour system). so now i have about twenty minutes in which to find these papers, so i can get started on my 1+8 hours worth of umat preparation i have set for today.

i feel so languid right now.

harry potter (daniel radclif*) lives in melbourne? let's all go stalk him and ask him why the heck he likes ginny! gah!
heey everybody...sorry i haven't been postiing much....umat "has sucked the life out of me".who wants to do something tonight? i need a break from all these umat practice tests. i'm becoming to empathetic for my own good. i have to complete three today...eek.

ive got 17 minutes to spare before my first umat exam starts, and i'm currently re-fulfilling my hobby of making envelopes out of comics, and, just today, also melways maps. i've got about seven old melways StAcked (with aesthetic beauty and structural soundness in mind) on my desk. i'm trying to make maps for everybody whose address i have. i'm making "personalised" envelopes. the reason why i put personalised in ditto marks is because these are personalised to their address. example, sam. i mark down her address on the map by putting a dot on it, and cut it out via template, making sure the dot is on the front of the envelope, but orientated slightly to the lower right side of the envelope. then, i grab a piece of thick cardboard, and emboss the address, etc. onto it, and string it through the front of the envelope, in the top left hand corner. then, i grab a permanent marker, and draw from the cardboard to her dot. voila! personalised envelope!
sidenote: "does eloping taste good?" hahaha,love hina...so funny
this reminds me of a conversation i had a while ago...
to give credit, and be totally honest, this wasn't an original idea...it came from Art Attack. remember? that show on around 10:30 on abc on school days, which taught art? with that eccentric british guy? he used to do a large-scale art piece at the end of everybody episode...like draw a soccer (or football) player on a football field with a boundary line painting machine? that was so cooliful...

i am calling for a full recall of all memories and recollections of the dictionary post. a number of revisions are to be made.
ack! why did nobody tell me i spelt "coolest" wrong under the RTM86 link?????
half a year and 50+ invitations later, i joined the hi5 network.



fifteen minutes after joining, i decided to remove myself from the network. but god fucking dammit, they sure make it hard for you to leave.




10 minutes and 5 friendship connections later, i found the link. it wasn't even a button. it was just a text link. AND IT WASN'T EVEN UNDERLINED!

THE LAWRENCE DICTIONARY OF LAUGHS

THE
LAWRENCE DICTIONARY
OF LAUGHS


--------------------------//-------------------------

PREFACE
This dictionary provides msn addicts with a convenient guide to the spelling, meaning and usage of the words used in response to an amusing remark.
In order to save space, the swung dash (~) is substituted for -ha or -ol in relation to examples.
In some cases, these headwords are connected with an arbitrary number of repetitions. This will be explained later. If this were to happen, the swung dash, accompanied with an "n" (~n) will be used, to signify an unknown number of repetitions.
due to the lack of the sign, the greater than or equal to sign will be >_, and similiarly, the less than or equal to sign will be <_.

I.C.U.P (haha...)
DICTIONARY
aha: originally discovered as an alternative to haha, because of its ease in typing in comparison to haha, it is essentially a perfect synonym to haha. SEE HA.

foc-: this is a prefix to other laughing acronyms, such as lmao, pmsl, lol, or rotfl. itself, means Falling Off Chair.

ha: this derivative of the laugh is second lowest in its strength.
ha~n
where n=0; signifies a funny remark; eg: ha
where n=1; signifies a very funny remark; eg: haha
where n>_2; signifies an insanely funny remark, one which we can safely say actually makes the person writing it laugh in real life. eg: hahahahahaha
ha~nh: this is an the ultimate in funny remarks, since the person is laughing so hard, that he has typed it out too fast, accidentally omitting the extra "a" after the "h". NOTE: it does not matter what number of "-ha" repetitions there are, the omission of the "a" is a sure sign of a very funny remark. aim for this at all times.

he: similiar to "ha", but is rather low in its strength. no matter what you do to manipulate this word, like repeating, capitalisiing, adding a full stop or exclamation, adding mistakes, missing the "e", it will never be as funny as even one "ha". everybody should be aiming much higher than this.

lmao: This stands for Laughing My Ass Off. This seems to be rather new word, its inception into the public domain of msn having been within the last two years. Never repeated. Equivalent to "lolol!".

lol: This stands for laughing out loud. This is a very commonly used derivative to "ha" in relation to a remark being funny, and is represents a greater humour than that appropriated to "ha". of the common root laughing remarks, this is probably of the greatest strength.
lol~n
where n=0; signifies a funny remark; eg: lol
where n=1; signifies a very funny remark; eg: lolol
where n>_2; signifies an insanely funny remark, one which we can safely say actually makes the person writing it laugh in real life. eg: lolololololololol
ol~no: this is an the ultimate in funny remarks, since the person is laughing so hard, that he has typed it out too fast, accidentally omitting the extra "l" after the "o". NOTE: it does not matter what number of "-ol" repetitions there are, the omission of the "l" is a sure sign of a very funny remark. aim for this at all times.

pmsl: This stands for Pissing MySelf Laughing. this never has repetitions, and if somebody tries to repeat this, it simply means that its even less funny. the strength of this word is equivalent to "ahahaha" or "hahaha" or "lolol"
rotfl: also known as rofl, it stands for Rolling on the Floor Laughing. this never has any repetitions either. equivalent to "ahahahaha" or "hahahaha" or "lolol!"

APPENDIX:
1.1FULL STOP
When this is used for words with no repetitions, these words signify a remark is actually LESS funny that a word without a full stop. i.e.: "aha." is less funny than "aha". One thing to note is that specifically with "aha" or "ha", this can actually mean "aha."(ok, wtf are you talking about...). basically its sounds like "uhuh."
when used with words with one or more repititions, it signifies a funnier remark than the same word(with the same repetitions)without a full stop.
1.2EXCLAMATION MARK
When this is used for any word, it signifies a funnier remark than the same word(with the same repetitions) without a full stop.
1.3 CAPITALS
This signifies a funnier remark than the same word without capitals. much more stronger than either the full stop and exclamation mark in their representation of increased humour.
1.4 MISTAKES IN TYPING OF WORD (i.e. hahahahhhhahahahhhhh)
This has the same degree in its representation of greater humour as that appropriated with the omission of an "a" or an "l".
1.5 COMBINATIONS OF WORDS/PREFIXES
These only represent an increase in humour if the link can be diciphered, i.e. roflmao (rolling on the floor laughing my ass off)
1.6 USE OF OTHER ALPHANUMERICAL SYMBOLS
The use of other symbols such as "~" used in such phrases as "lol~!", or the substitution of alphanumerical emoticons, or addition, of words, just goes to signify that the other person actually had the time to find these other characters on the keyboard, meaning it wasn't funny enough to be replied to quickly.

THE ULTIMATE IN ALL RESPONSES.
this is the big one.
LOLOLOLOLLLLOLOLOLLOLLLOLO!
the combination of a number of repetitions, mistakes, capitals, exclamation marks, and an omission of an "l" at the end.

i had dinner with my family, grandparents (mum's side) and an uncle and auntie about 50 mins ago.
so, i was conversing with my grandmother, while my parents where discussing the london bombings with my auntie and uncle. I talked to my grandmother in cantonese, since my grandmother is totally english illiterate (apart from the staples of the language such as hello, please, thank you), exerting enough mental strength to actually pass a specialist sac. However, my apparent capacity to speak cantonese was a bit too high. Mum was marvelled. So marvelled, that she thought i must have been going out with some new cantonese speaking girl. Not only that, my Dad added onto my Mum's comment, saying i was hitting it off with an exchange student.







HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
i think i'm going insane. ["kicking and screaming please!"] why is nobody online? is everybody in like detention or something? is everybody out? are they having an private school party without me? [sorry, no homers!] have they all blocked me? are they on "appear offline" status?
well. i have just resigned to the possibility that they may all just be reading hbp. i hope so.4

PS: Cooliful. Spread the word! (haha...what a pun...) propagate it to the far reaches of the universe, then deposit it into the proverbial stem cells of dark energy, so that the universe will be ever fertilised with this great discovery!
PS PS: My sister made it up. It's meant to specifically relate to art, especially colourful art which looks cool. colourful. cool. cooliful. but yeah, ive just broaden its use to all things cool.
i did have some great blog rants to post, but i forgot to put it in my notebook.
hahahaha....you guys have to see this...

what too cool for school...however, great for those targets...

i have homework. english homework. english oral presentation homework.
one week ago, neutral, my opinion of my life was at that instant. today, again, neutral, but the forecast is grim. dy/dx = -1, for those people studying specialist math. i guess this perpetual sine wave has a period of one fortnight.
i'm no augur myself, but The Divine have manifested Mother Nature, producing as bleak a forecast as that associated with Hermione's current boyfriend. Clear skies have descended themselves over me, the sun's radiance blanketing everything in its line of sight with a golden warmth. The leaves of the evergreen trees dancing, playing in the puddles of light, the ripples of luminescence glistening, like a morse code signal coaxing me to join them. and here i am, sitting on edge of my bed, back arched around so considerably, i could file a court case against Victor Hugo for defamation of character. the room is dark, lit by the few remnants of light that hadn't been consumed outside, incombination with the flourescent lighting, illuminating the room in a stark white hue, as though it was sucking the life force out of even the most inanimate objects.

i feel compelled to walk outside and sunlight, but i know all to well that it is just a tangible manifestation of guilt, masquerading itself as a warm inviting retreat...

yeah. i was meant to finish this earlier. but its night time now.and i need to get cracking on hw.
someone please perform petrificus totalus on me.
oh em eff gee. that was a twist and a half. plus the half at end of chapter 28, and the "flight of the PRINCE". hmm. i wonder what will happen in seven...

He Who Must Not Be Named

i despise people who take credit for my work.
12:40am. never am i online at 12:40am without a seemingly unabating problem wreaking havoc on my frail and delirious mind, problems personifying themselves, performing role plays, with malice so great as to convince me to not only believe, but to see it as inevitable, that the worst will eventuate, driving me deep into a pessimistic state.

i , still, have yet to make conjecture over what she said. am I meant to believe what she told me, believing that she had told me the truth? or am i meant to believe that she really is reconsidering, and that what she said to me was purely an implementation of the feminine essentiality of "being nice" to those of the male gender?

why do women perform such a trick on the male sex? is it simply because they cringe at the sight or possibility that we are hurt, or is there a hidden agenda?
is it because they would like to put the blame on somebody else? as though they were forced into making the decision, not having the slightest contribution to the final outcome?
maybe they are planning for the future. being nice would make them seem a better quarry for future love interests, setting up their resume through the man, so that he made someday send it on to other men in his friends network. a stepping stone, if you will.
maybe its a little game they play, so as to send guys swooning for them. it's the lady-like version of hard-to-get, but with a more sinister outcome; the guy gets nothing.

i'll be back to complain more after the sunrises, after i have suffocated myself after screaming into my pillow for 6 consecutive hours.

the adventures of a muggle

i was sleeping soundly, although, possibly, pronouncing random nothings in my deep slumber. I had been lying on my bed for the best part of two hours, facing the bedroom window, glasses askew and mouth open, slithers of saliva sliding down from the junction of my lips, puddling on the glossy patina coating my pillow, the residual transfer of my hair wax onto the soft cotton textile. of light, coloured portentuously, vaguely accentuated the dark circles which had hexed themselves beneath the loopholes created by my eyelids. the alarm clock suddenly rang, its hands denoting that it was 5 o'clock. cached within my memory, i made paces to the bathroom, turning the hot water tap counter-clockwise, sending tendrils of water fanning downwards from the shower rose. i began to breach the cone of water. almost instantaneously, my soul made its sudden apparition from my bed, convulsions rushing through my body as the entity progressed to reenter its abode.
---//---
my robe lurched with the pulse of the wind, as the metal doors of the train opened, people alighting and boarding through the portal. passing under bridges, i stared deeply into my own reflection, catching glimpses of the circles under my eyes during the short lapses that natural light brought to the tran carriage. facing the man's shoes, i looked up at his face. his eyes embodied a sense of sadness. suddenly his mobile phone rang, the ratchet startling all passengers within a 10m radius of him. i stared out the window, unmethodically focusing on trees, fences, graffiti. anything that would make the man figure that he wasn't talking with a decibel factor equivalent to that of a jackhammer. however, his voice exuded a sense of happiness. how could he be sad? after he finished his phone call, i looked up at his eyes once again. i tried to reduce his eyes to lines and gradients, trying to pinpoint the chief charactersitic of his eye which compelled to believe this emotional interpretation. the dark circles. i glanced around the carriage at the other forlorn characters. all embodied the same facial property. who had cursed these people, including myself, with this hex, with which an enormous, transcendental, almost magical, power would be needed to cause such great and widespread damage? could it be? could it be that He Who Must Not Be Named has caused this great affliction?
---//---
I stared at him, malevolence brimming, seeping out of my fingers. they clutched firmly onto my wand, but still held it with a wariness of its great power.
"do you want a book sir?"
the evil had been spilt. i pulled out my wand, and pointed it at him, my hand shaking with the overwhelming evil that was ready to be unleashed.
suddenly, his hand flashed out of sight for less than an instant, suddenly reappearing, with a wand held within its fingers.
"Priori Incantem!" he summoned.
I felt the power seep away from my fingers. The wand stayed within my clutch only from the balance it had been given by my 3rd,4th, and 5th fingers.
"Ha. Muggle. Arrows, Wand!"
Dejected by the man's inflictions from his arrows, i replaced my wand in its sheath.
"Muggle, learn to believe that you can't do magic, and just read it from books, like this one."
I had finally procured the sixth installment.
Another man, also dressed in robes, came along.
"Imperio!", he said to the man who had just served me,"Now go to Azkaban, also known as the next counter."
---//---
After exiting Chadstone Shopping Centre, i boarded the bus. I seated myself, and returned to reading The Book. A young boy sat next to me.
As the bus began to move from its stop, he proceeded to reach into his bag. He pulled out another bag, plastic it was, marked clearly with the Borders insignia. He then reached in, only slightly, and retrieved a book. The Book. Unphased by the fact that somebody else would know the same secrets of the story that i would know, i proceeded to read.
Later, in the journey:
"Excuse me, i see that you're reading the same book as i am. I'm just wondering whether you know what the Imperius Curse is." he asked.
Newbs. I'll show him the Imperius Curse. Banish him from reading The Sixth until he has read the first five.4

PS: I love the start of Chapter Three.
yay! i didn't get bashed on the train! (however, i think the old lady i was sitting opposite to thought i was goth...haha...)
i was so ready pull out my wand at the sales assistant if he had sold out of hp books...but he had heaps. damn. i'll post the fotos of the hp adventure (ok, not as cool as "tb adventures") on the blog tomorrow!4

I' m going on msn hiatusI everybody, from about 15 mins ago, until 12:00am saturday (that is, i can go online from the first second of saturday). wish me luck everybody!

here are the consequences if i dont:
for the guys at mhs: i will personally fail my last spesh sac (lol... i already have that one covered)
for the girls at macrob: i made a deal with wendy that if i don't succeed, she could kick me (with a boot). im extending that to all of the macrob people that i actually know...im not dumb enough to say everybody, or the people who know me.

for the guys at...whereever..."the group": i will...oh! i will perform the dare i was meant to do last saturday....ergh...that was a bad idea...that wasabi is going to kill....
for the girls in "the group": no idea. you can do whatever you want to me...NOTHING SEXUAL! lol....i had to put that one in, or else i would get a major bagging...i probably still am, from actually thinking about it.

so yes. don't worry, im still going to blog, probably a bit more than usual now, and im still on *EMAIL ALERT*...but god dammit my phone bill is going to surge through the roof...

5Quick Change in shape of eye
hey hey guys!
(obviously i am on a high at 1:36am, because my body has let itself go)
here is ANOTHER VERS. of the pic, just a 10 min revision, with the eye moved up a bit, the lip shade removed (and one added accidentally) and a general clean up and blur of shading. sorry, but i went a bit far with the clean up, now it sorta looks like he's a dream...
this is for the guys who have a tft (not sure about lcd) monitor...tilt your screen from the perpendicular to about 45 degrees away from you.
scan a sheet of "white" paper, and view it through photoshop or something. you will see a huge number of blotches and other colour graduations. not so white is it? so yeah. i tried to remove ALL of the unneeded graduations. ended up being TOO white.

i dont like the umat. esp. section2. why do the answers have to be of such high empathy towards the patient? i also dislike the test format in trying to analyse your personality.
i think the answer is C.
(
the answer is D, since you have to be empathetic towards the patient.)
ok, i'll take that into account the next time i see such a question.
are we meant to learn to be empathetic? so what are we to do? answer the questions instinctively, and possibly get them "wrong", or shade the answer that is the one the examiner wants?

haha...napoleon dynamite won mtv best movie. well, it was pretty obvious seeing the other nominees were kill bill, spiderman and ray. napoleon dynamite is the weirdest, yet funniest, movie ever.

VOTE FOR PEDRO!
this is the revised version, change in the eyes.
Picture
oh, btw. it's a guy. he's japanese [ = ], hence the problem with looking like a girl. lol.Y
i have started with the figure, with mixed results. main problem is with the face. it's just....its not apathetic. it just looks strange.

this is the revised version of the face. don't look at the blue. the blue was a pre-revised sketch, so just look at the greylead. mail me with improvements, esp. on the face!!!
Picture
PS: don't be nit picky, i'm not submitting something into deviantart, i just need a general sketch. im going to tablet this into ps anyway, so it's fine. i know about the tie, collar, and hair on the back of the neck, i just needed to put the face into a relative context (ed: why am i trying to explain myself!)
i have finally come to a decision on what design i am going to use for my blog.

FINAL DESIGN
(ed: make sure i stick with this one guys!):
- a figure in the background
- clothing (ed: or lack thereof!) will change throughout the day, according to the time, day, and date, i.e. at between 9:00 to 3:15 on tues, wed, and thurs, figure will be in school uniform, holding book in one hand.
- eyes will also be closed, bloodshot, have dark circles under them, droopy, etc. according to the time of day.
- the background of the background, that is, the background on which the figure is set, will change according to the scene, i.e. bathroom, kitchen, school, train, bed, etc.
- "mood meter" will be in what currently is the "girl with flowers" banner.
- the background will basically be a swf app.
- im going to make it standard the width of the blog will be around 700px, since only 6.12% operate on 800x600 while looking at this blog.

i haven't seen anything like this on any other blogs, so im hoping thats not because its impossible to do.
bad thing is, i have to start from scratch. drawings, ps and illustrator imports, flash+actionscript(which will take ages), tablet imports, color striping, colour selection. oh, not to mention the importation of images between ps and flash multiple times. and that dreaded ps-flash colour selection. argh! you know, when want to find a good colour, so you have to go into ps, and find the colour in the colour charts, then go back to picker, copy the heaxdecimal code, and paste it back into flash to get the colour?!?!?! ergh. this is going to take AGES.

Wednesday, July 6, 2005

im ever so slowly adding new features to this blog of mine. i know what everything in the blog html does now, so its all good. now i just need to transfer my designs into ps. that will probably take about two weeks. i just want to get the lines right and the colour striping looking "realistic".

but my first real new feature will be:

CENSORSHIP-FREE!

yeah. i'm just going to say everything. no omission of anything important or significant, esp. in affecting my general mood (ed: as you know, im rather moody for a guy).
i mean, i'm not going to tell anything about anybody else, like any secrets or things said in confidence. i'm just going to state stuff like people im pissed off with stuff like that. so dont worry guys!

PS: if i seem somewhat weird, it's probably because im high on nail polish fumes. my sister is painting her nails right next to me.
Pictoplasma: Contemporary Character Design.
Can somebody please buy me this book?!?!?! I've been reading at metro on three different occasions. It's just way too cool.It's at metro bookstore btw.

I feel like making a letterhead. Another art project to add to my enormous to do list.
i can't be bothered typing it out again, so here:
10:34:21 PM the_unchosen_one_21@hotmail.com: ive gotta tell you something
10:34:24 PM the_unchosen_one_21@hotmail.com: something really cool
10:34:31 PM the_unchosen_one_21@hotmail.com: i looked in this book today at the metro bookshop

yowza! uno mille!
argh. this blog is killing me. i need to settle on a single blog design. im working on five atm. two of which are entirely digital, one needing colour striping and the other two needing digital compilation. so yeah. its going to take a while before i can settle on one.

i think im going to get it hosted. shouldn't cost too much, and with the no of people viewing this blog, it should be a good investment.

Posting...now in colour!

meh. i dont know. i just feel like posting in colour more often.
-------------------------//------------------------
i just had a shower. the water was at that lukewarm-tepid temperature. you know, where if you stick your head into you feel like you are going to choke? yes. that temperature. what was even worse was i didnt detect it beforehand, so i lathered up the shampoo in my hair, and dunked my head in. AND THEN, since i choked, my body-by reflex- took in a deep gasp of air, also taking in about a cup of water mixed with a bit of shampoo suds. yeah. like a barramundi catching a fish.
oooo! i also shaved my arms and legs again. the hair sorta stopped growing. now i have sleek arms and legs. girls crave to have. not to have on a guy, but to have on themselves. but with my lack of manly intelligence, i cut myself. twice.
ooo...second last episode of oc is on tonight...coolies! i mean, i've watched it already, but on tv, its just so much more of a better experience. it's gotta be the commercial breaks. most people hate them, but i love them. just the suspense and anticipation that is built up in those two minutes makes you itch til you bleed. thats why i dont really like watching downloaded shows. you can't cram two minutes worth of suspense into a mere two or so seconds or frame transition, across what was meant to be a commercial break. yes. i am pro-commercial break. i shall be revolutionary, uncool so that ill be cool, dress well, and have a witty sense of humour. just like a mac user. (ed: i'll explain this in my next post)

PS: Damn this shirt. It stinks. literally, not figuratively.

I stink, you stink
Let's Hug
PS: PS: Basically every coloured word in that post was in that colour on purpose. this doesn't include words in black or grey, or the words "better experience" and "shower". Bonus marks if you get the reason why some words are in a different style (i.e. italics or bold or large or small)
ok, my last post was just weird. johnny depp in willy wonka and the chocolate factory weird.
i still don't get why girls lurve j.depp so much. he's not hot at all. superficially, he's not that great. at first, when i heard of this, i was thinking:
"well...maybe its his character. confidence, self-control, intelligent, sense of humour, energetic, etc. maybe it's his inner beauty."
i found out that next day that i was wrong. IT IS his looks. ergh.
------------------------------//-------------------------------------------
so i went out to get my mum a present yesterday, before going to meet up with the family to dinner, to farewell my auntie, who left this morning. so i went out, and on the train i realised that i seriously didn't know what to get her. so i wandered around the city, walking through every store which could possibly have a present, and i came out with nothing. nothing at all. i phoned a couple of friends, all of which were of no help at all. i did get a good idea for flowers though (thanks kim). then it got me thinking to something of much more sentimental value.
so i ended up getting my mum a bunch of roses, with one fake rose, with a little note saying "our love for you will last until the last rose dies (aha!(lightbulb!) but the last rose will never die will it, since its fake!). yes, tacky, but cool. and i bought some photo albums to put pictures in from newborn up til current age. sorta like an evolutionary timeline. but without the hunched backs. but yes. i hate it how you always have to go one better every single year. year after year.4

PS: Is anybody doing anything tonight? im bored. let's go to that bar again.

i've just turned the tv on. no, there's nothing good on tv. nor am i watching it to pass time. i'm not even laying my eyes on the tube. i'm just turning it on to provide atmosphere, compared to the sterility of silence where atmosphere is the lack of one. music doesn't do the same thing. it provides aura. not atmosphere.
i'm home alone.
even though the tv is in the other room, i can still hear the faint high frequency mechanical buzz of the tv, which is enough to keep my sane for the next hours before i leave this dungeon i call home.
in six days, 21 hours and 9 minutes, i will be back at school. sigh. i've still got friends to catch up with, a movie, probably some b/l/d fitted into there, and then a stack of homework (stacked on my desk with cantilever projections, supported by steel plates...ooo baby!)
iris came over just before. we talked for about an hour and finally decided to remain good friends. so yes. everything seems to be patched up. almost everything.
my auntie's leaving tomorrow. guess that means post-relative-sleepover-syndrome is imminent.i hate these syndromes. talking about syndromes, me and my sister watched The Incredibles this morning (dw jack, dvds are coming back now...).
NO CAPES!
haha...that was great. Edna's so cool. found a few mistakes in there as well. but hey, its still a great movie. I'm still not sure which one's better though. Robots or Incredibles. I heard Ice Age is also way cool. I have yet to see that movie.

you know that feeling? when you're hands are under water in the sink, and you're not sure whether its hot or cold? yes. that feeling. i have that feeling.

iTunes forever || says:
i think my blogging addiction is slowly starting again...
iTunes forever || says:
i feel like writing about something every ten minutes
otherwise, we're all just dry leaves blowing down the gutter says:
hahahaa
iTunes forever || says:
argh! and why does everybody else other than you blog so little!
otherwise, we're all just dry leaves blowing down the gutter says:
um they have lives?
otherwise, we're all just dry leaves blowing down the gutter says:
no idea..
iTunes forever || says:
damn. they probably do
iTunes forever || says:
i want a life. do you know where i can get one sally?
meh. im not going to continue with the last bit. i basically just went to a paper shop, realised it wasn't paper paper, it was paper stocks in general, like journals, books, cards, etc. then i went on the train, listened to music, the girl opposite me recognised the music, started tapping her fingers to it, started talking, (remind you of something, jen?) yadayadayada...

this book is way too cool. my friend said for 110 it would have to be. and good god it is. i want this book! i'll just buy my friend a different book...lol. seriously, its awesome. the louis ghost chair!
so yeah. i went out at about 2 today, finally deciding to get off my sorry ass which had been moulded into my bed mattress for the previous five hours. I was hoping to get my friend this book i had seen which was really cool for his present. I went to McGills (sp.?) first, looking for about five minutes before i realised that with the lack of proper book organisation, it could be anywhere. so i decided to ask whether it was even in the store first. coincedentally, it wasnt. so i went back to Borders, where i had first seen it. i didn't want to go there first, because the glossy cover was a bit bent and crinkled. so i went there. argh! they didn't have it. they sold it yesterday. so, so , so. i decided to fork out the money and went to metro. argh! they didnt have it either. so yes. i was out of luck. so i stayed at metro, looking through books for about an hour. design books are awesome to look at in natural light coming from an overcast sky, filtering through a glass window covered in beads of rainwater. i managed to get another idea for my blog design. i think im going to use it as a temporary design in place of my final one, which is going to take a while to finish. after rumaging through six 2m high shelves, i finally found the right book; Philippe Starck, his folio of creations, and his life story.$110-. so i went back down the stairs. then i realised something. i would never be able to find a card to fit the book. so i went back up the four or so flights of stairs, and bought a card from metro. while looking along the car racks, i looked down at the books on the cupboards. one book caught my eye.
daily sex positions.
the picture gave a bit more meaning to the somewhat ambiguous title. a man standing up. a woman straddled by the man, leaning back towards the ground, her legs kicked up into the air behind the man.
i looked back at the cards. i picked a random one up, and quickly walked to the desk, and paid.
i walked back down the arcades towards flinders street. i was at collins st. the rain was still bucketing down. i walked out towards the traffic lights, and pressed the button. i retreated back in, under the verandah. a man walked up next to me. he looked japanese, which was confirmed when he called out to his friends in japanese to come seemingly come over. he pointed to the verandah above. his friends joined him, with cameras out, taking pictures of the buildings. i looked up. i realised why they were taking the pictures. i had never seen the buildings of melbourne in such a light. the clouds in the background. the muted grey sunlight beaming against the gothic architecture of the building. it was rather spectacular. i should take my camera out more often.
--------//-----------
ive gotta go to dinner now. i shall finish my story later.
im currently reorganising my wardrobe. pants with pants. shirts with shirts. jackets with jackets. next its going to be colour to colour. but im going to have to do that a bit later. i'm about to head off to buy cds. i've finally decided to get telepopmusik. it's growing on me, esp. breathe. i'm also going to see whether jb has my Kent import. its been about 6 weeks, so it should be here by now...
i've forgotten the reason why i was posting in the first place. it was going to be a long post as well. but oh well.

PS: [Transcript from War of the Worlds]
Ray - Tom Cruise; Robbie - Some guy.
This comes after the big robots have attacked the the city, with the small family leaving town in the only car that can run, fearful of their lives, almost in a state of insanity, since the lightning storms threw out an EMP, ruining everything with an electric circuit...

Robbie: Where are the attacks from?! Are they from terrorists?
Ray: No...they are...from...somewhere else...
Robbie: Are they from Europe?!

lol...are they from europe...classic.
to take something that isnt yours is bad.

to take something back that you've given to somebody else is even worse.
the lack of a definition to this isnt right. something things aren't meant to be reduced to a series of words. some, are. this is one of the latter.
women are once again evil.

coffee mug stains

arent they just an artform? i reckon kramer should have made a coffee table book on coffee mug stains instead of coffee tables.

you know what i mean. you pour yourself a hot mug of coffee. its very full. almost up to the brim. then, when you put it down, some of it spills over. so, you move your mug over to the side, and wipe up the spilt coffee. then, you pick your mug back up. and there you go. right under where you just picked up your coffee cup from. THE coffee mug stain.

ok, its not really a stain. its just coffee in the general shape of a circular outline. but the small variations in stains. the small drops on the side, the seepage of coffee into the centre of the circle. there are some any different coffee mug stains.

however. there is only ONE perfect coffee mug stain. the circular outline, perfect in shape, but with a slight deviation in outline thickness in one quadrant. in that same quadrant, two drops. one linked into the outline, with a diameter of about 3mm. the second one, entirely detached. just a bit further (1mm) out from previous drop, co-linear to it, about 1-2mm in diameter.

this my friends. is the perfect coffee mug stain. i had one this morning. i saw it. the hairs on the back of stood on end. i picked up a piece of high absorbency 130 gsm cartridge paper. i laid it down perfectly. i waited five minutes. i lifted it off. it was a tragedy. i had to taken into account the spreading of the water across the sheet. it was horrible.

i have laid 150gsm matte photo paper across my desk. the decreased absorbency will hopefully mean a crisper outline. i shall wait a week for my perfect coffee mug stain to appear.
